After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 656

Chapter 656: The Magnanimous Yu Ze
Zhouzhou looked at him with confusion, her face displaying uncertainty, but she nodded nonetheless.

Qin Lie wasn’t surprised; it seemed he anticipated what Yu Ze was about to say, gesturing toward the nearby car. “Let’s talk in the car, and then we’ll head up.”

“Thank you.”

As they sat in the car, Zhouzhou swung her little legs and asked in bewilderment, “Uncle Yu, what do you want to tell me?”

Yu Ze looked at her and spoke slowly, “I want your help in convincing Ji’an to genuinely forgive Mr. Huo.”

“Huh?” Zhouzhou tilted her head, puzzled. “But Little Skinny Pole has already forgiven him, hasn’t she?”

Yu Ze shook his head. “No, that’s not true forgiveness. It’s just Ji’an consciously burying those memories. If he truly forgave him, he wouldn’t resist Mr. Huo like this.”

With her hand resting on her knee, Zhouzhou shook her head. “Uncle Yu, I don’t understand.”

Yu Ze reached out and gently patted her head, his expression tender. “Uncle Yu hopes that Ji’an can truly let go of the past, Mr. Huo isn’t a bad person. I’ve also come to understand that over the years, the Huo family hasn’t been as prosperous as it appears.”

“The Huo family is facing transitions, internal strife, and external pressures. It’s not easy at all. A small misstep could lead to bankruptcy. So, Mr. Huo isn’t avoiding coming home; he’s genuinely busy.”

Zhouzhou understood this; she raised her chubby paw and said, “I know what bankruptcy means. Our temple was bankrupted because of me. Later, my senior brothers all went down the mountain to work to earn money to buy steamed buns to feed me.”

At this point, Zhouzhou’s eyes became teary.

Seeing the adorable little girl, Yu Ze smiled and continued along her line of thought. “So, when your senior brothers aren’t around, do you miss them?”

“Of course I do.” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. “I miss them a lot. Every meal, I think of them. If they don’t fight with me for food, it doesn’t taste as good. Sometimes, I can only eat seven and a half buns in one meal, but when they were here, I could eat eight.”

Yu Ze: “…”

There’s longing, but not too much.

He cleared his throat, suppressing his amusement, and continued, “So, do you resent them for not being with you?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes widened. “Of course not!”

Her senior brothers worked down the mountain to support her; how could she resent them?

“So,” Yu Ze guided, “if they stay with you, you would all go hungry together because they don’t have enough money to support you. But if they had to work, wouldn’t that mean they couldn’t be with you?”

“Mr. Huo is the same as Ji’an.”

“Zhouzhou, since you also like money, you should understand that while money isn’t everything, having it allows you to buy what you want, right?”

Zhouzhou pondered his words carefully before nodding slowly.

“But, Uncle Huo was unkind to Ji’an before. Little Skinny Pole’s illness was caused by him, and he almost starved to death because of him.”

Hearing this, Yu Ze felt a twinge of heartache.

“I know, I’m not defending Mr. Huo. He certainly had his faults in the past, but there are reasons behind it. He’s not a bad person and his feelings for Ji’an are genuine. So, I’m thinking, shouldn’t we give him a chance?”

“Besides, isn’t it good to have one more person caring for Ji’an?”

Listening to his words, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but sigh, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“Uncle Yu, you’re so strange. My Daddy and Sharp Tongue Daddy wish I only recognize one of them as my dad, but why are you actively trying to give Little Skinny Pole to Uncle Huo?”

Hearing this, Yu Ze couldn’t help but chuckle. “Did your two dads eventually accept each other’s presence? Maybe even feel glad at times?”

Zhouzhou didn’t know about this; she only knew that her two dads had their own way of getting along.

When there was nothing going on, they would glare at each other and argue.

But when there was, they were very united, trusting each other to take care of her.

She knew they both just wanted her to be happy, healthy, and content.

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Yu Ze’s perspective.

It was like when her Dad advised her to accept her Sharp Tongue Daddy; they all just wanted her to be happy and didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the other dad who liked them.

Nodding her head, Zhouzhou suddenly brightened up.

“Uncle Yu, I know what to do now. I’ll work hard, after all, I’m getting paid.”

The smile on Yu Ze’s lips grew wider, unable to resist pinching the little girl’s chubby cheeks. “When you’re done, Uncle will give you a big red envelope.”

“Wow!” Zhouzhou’s eyes widened even more, vigorously nodding her head and patting her chest. “I’ll do it, you can trust me!”

Huo Ji’an was still waiting upstairs. Seeing Zhouzhou agree, Yu Ze didn’t say much more, just exchanged a greeting with her before heading upstairs.

Qin Lie and the others also got into the car.

Qin Bei asked curiously, “Zhouzhou, what did Uncle Yu say to you?”

Zhouzhou repeated Yu Ze’s words.

After hearing it, Qin Bei was dumbfounded and blurted out, “Is Uncle Yu stupid?”

At this, Qin Lie’s gaze swept over, icy cold.

He was taken aback and instinctively shrank back.

Why was his little uncle so fierce? He didn’t say that he was stupid.

Zhouzhou shook her head. “Uncle Yu isn’t stupid; he’s magnanimous. He’s really considering Little Skinny Pole’s feelings.”

On this point, Qin Lie agreed.

Zhouzhou suddenly leaned on the back of the chair, leaning in and asking, “Dad, did you also want one more person to care for me before?”

Qin Lie casually pinched her chubby cheek. “Partly, but I can handle as much as ten people by myself.”

Zhouzhou looked at him, suddenly enlightened. “So, Dad cares about Sharp Tongue Daddy and wants him to be happy.”

After saying that, the little chubby girl stopped asking further, convinced that this was the answer. She didn’t give Qin Lie a chance to argue, just patted her chubby paw and said, “Dad and Sharp Tongue Daddy are a perfect match!”

Qin Lie: “…”

Qin Bei also laughed, not afraid even if Qin Lie shot him a cold look.

After all, it was Zhouzhou who said it; let her deal with it if she has the guts!

Qin Xi looked around, urging impatiently, “Uncle, can you drive already?”

Fight! Fight!

He wasn’t interested in why his little uncle would accept Ye Lingfeng; he just wanted to fight!

Why was it so hard to have a fight? When would it be his turn?

Seeing him like this, Qin Lie glanced at him and silently started the car.

He’d never seen someone so eager to suffer a beating.

For the sake of their uncle-nephew relationship, he’d indulge him.

Zhouzhou also anxiously lowered her head, rummaging through her bag.

Qin Nan asked curiously, “Zhouzhou, what are you looking for?”

“Medicine, for Fourth Brother later.”

Qin Nan understood. “Then take more, if necessary, I’ll call for ambulance.”

“I’ll help lift his legs!” Qin Bei shouted, eager to join in.

Qin Er rubbed his chin, turning to Zhouzhou, and immediately said, “Zhouzhou, I’ll buy all your medicine. Name your price.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, immediately extended her chubby paw. “One hundred per bottle!”

Qin Er nodded and paid.

Then, he turned to Qin Xi. “One thousand per bottle, interested?”

Zhouzhou was stunned, her eyes widening instantly.

Indeed, this was Qin Dafu!

Qin Xi: “…”

Even scalpers wouldn’t do this in front of customers!!!

Besides, he hadn’t lost yet!
